currently I'm sooooo
this stupid cpu keeps beating me to a pulp. o(>_<)o
need !!
I have to admit I'm more or less a fighting game noob.
until this summer I only played fighters very casually maybe once a year.
but since I spent half a year at a friends place in Tokyo, with him always having
friends come over and play kof, I really started liking that series and finally got
me an aes system this spring.
so, now I'm trying to acquire some kof'98 skills. I'm currently using Kyo, Terry and
Vice. Kyo because I think he is easy to play/suits the way I play. Terry because he
was recommended as a good character to start with. Vice because I think she's cool.
my plan: train in practice mode until I can pull off a characters moves with high
probability. when I feel that I'm familiar enough with the character I start training
versus the cpu. when I have mastered the basics (ie. pulling off the right moves at
the right time (ie. long distance moves at long distance, short distance moves at
short distance, blocking,...)) I wanted to move on to learn combos.
familiarizing myself with the characters didn't take too long (though I had some
problems with moves like Vice's Misan's Rove..). not that I can pull off all moves
as I want to when fighting the cpu, but I keep practicing. what is really bothering
me though, is that I don't seem to improve at all! at first I only played single play,
where at best I reached stage 5 playing Vice on default difficulty. that was in early
August. since then I only play team play and I can't seem to get past stage 4.
btw. I hate the '97 special team which I always have the luck to face.
in other words i'm stuck. I don't feel that i'm making any progress.
and what's worse, I don't see how this could change...
do I really have to practice jump C/D -> C/D ->... moves till I'm able to pull them off
that I can get past those stages?!? soo depressing.... (T_T)
I guess i'm still lacking that basic fighter skills that one usually builds up playing
these games all day during the years at school. sadly I'm afraid I no longer have
the luxury to spend days on end playing kof. still I'm determined to become a
decent player, even if it will cost me a considerable amount of time.
I just need to know HOW!
so if you have any advice, please
just remember:
- there are no arcades where I live.
- I have some friends who I can play against, but I usually don't see them more
often than once a month
